Here is a quick update to your question: Yes, we will support ASP.NET Identity in the next upgrade for VS 2013.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jack, Any idea on the next release date for Spark that will support ASP.NET Identity? Next 3mo/6mo/1yr? --- Stan SpilmanOct 21, 2013

I was going to ask the same question before I ran across this post. I'm currently using the tech stack: VS2013/EF6/MVC5, and plan to use the new ASP.net Identity framework. --- Aaron AdamsNov 08, 2013

Many of us in the users (DoFactory subscribers) group probably feel the same, it would be outstanding if DoFactory could keep up just a bit more on updates. Regarding VS2013/EF6/MVC5 and Identity related aspects with .NET 4.5 (even 4.5.1), most of us are rolling our own and then finding that we missed out on better opportunities with better patterns. Well, by then, we've had to release products. We all know--once coded--there needs to be a solid business decision to change--otherwise, you're stuck with the current design.
Just hoping that this great product doesn't lose it's solid footing because of the consistent message I seem to see with responses (even after a year after a product beta release) like &quot;we haven't began because a formal release is not out&quot; or &quot;not consistent with...&quot; All in all, keep up the good work--just hoping that Do Factory maintains its leading edge. Thanks. --- Brian KirkpatrickDec 06, 2013
